Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s son Maddox: Child star?

OHMYGOSSIP — Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt‘s son Maddox is on the verge of becoming Hollywood’s next child star. The 13-year-old is said to be a strong candidate to play Battling Boy, a Paul Pope-created character whose exploits could be headed to the silver screen.

“Maddox would be amazing in the part, but Brad is wary of going ‘all Will Smith with his kids,’” an insider told RadarOnline.

“This could be a special case though, because Brad got involved in the project so early that his influence – and Maddox’s — are really felt across the board on this thing. There are panels that even use some signature Maddox facial expressions!

“This is the next movie Brad wants to produce and he even has financing lined up from his deal with India’s Reliance to make this thing.

“Maddox could be playing the part within 10 months or less.”

Jolie adopted Maddox (his birth name was Rath Vibol) from Cambodia in 2002.
